Lakewood also features extensive cultural programming and recreation areas. The 38,000-square-foot Lakewood Cultural Center boasts a 300-seat theater and gallery space, while the Lakewood Heritage Center includes 10 historic structures and 30,000 artifacts, plus a popular outdoor amphitheater.
With more than 80 maintained parks, Lakewood is also one of Colorado's top places for outside activities. Bear Creek Lake Park is the city's most popular playground. Filled with a large fishing lake, paved and dirt biking and hiking trails, picnic areas and a summer water-skiing concessionaire, this 2,600-acre park has something for everyone. For mountain lovers, the steep terrain at Lakewood's Green Mountain Open Space Park offers a great workout and scenic mountain views.
Shoppers and golfers will also find their passions addressed here. Lakewood's pleasant shopping centers include the Lakewood Plaza and the Colorado Mills Mall; there are also two public golf courses. The outdoor Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison's dinosaur tracks and the Bandimere Speedway drag strip are nearby.
